Ben John-Hynes Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 A lot of people say the 07s really don't ride nice,And a lot of people say the old Deng stuff is betterSo i'd go for the 06!Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) its all personal preference. 07 rides different to 06 for sure. But a lot of 06's have broken . Craig, Abdab and Biff, just to name 3, have killed them. The chainstays have been bent on one of them too.Just a few examples:04 and 05 ones were way stronger. Early days were the glory days. Can't wait for 2008 zoos! coming sometime next month according to Deng Edited March 25, 2008 by Sponge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Owen. Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Its down to personal preferance i think matey. I quite liked my 07 python, but other people hated it. However, like someone said above, the older the deng frame/part, the better! Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamWood! Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 My 06 Zoo has cracked on the weld that holds the headset tube do the downtube!I think my chainstay is cracked my frame seems to flex a lot more that it used to.Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoo Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 its all personal preference. 07 rides different to 06 for sure. But a lot of 06's have broken . Craig, Abdab and Biff, just to name 3, have killed them. The chainstays have been bent on one of them too.04 and 05 ones were way stronger. Early days were the glory days. Can't wait for 2008 zoos! coming sometime next month according to DengTo be fair they'll probably be just the same as 07 but with possibly different stickers or just no stickers at all. I've ALWAYS wanted an 04 python, I'd cut my leg off if I could ride one of them for just a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo-Scott Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 A guy I know has a short 07 python and I'd say its probably one of thee nicest bikes I've ever been on. So flicky and easy to control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clownbike Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I have an 06 with ISIS bb if you want it. Sorry to poach :$.......06 long, fair amount of scratches, one large dent in the downtube where an idiot rode into a wall. Won't affect strength, i think most/all mounts are hellicoiled, never seen a massive amount of action. Comes with fsa platinum BB as i glued it in and i've not tried to get it out. The bb shell sticks out a lil 5mm on the non drive side, but i rode it like that for ages and it's all good.Offer me if you're interested.NeilP.S. If you are looking for any other bits just ask as i have a few bits knocking around Ohh....in reply to the thread, i quite likes the 07 it did feel flicky on the back wheel, but just too long, so most other moves didn't feel nice. Chainstays felt too long, so it gapped ok, but you lose a fair bit of control and i found it harder to tuck in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Trials 31 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 If your going for a Zoo! get an 04' or an 06'. 04's are definitely swish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
